She had chosen her husband herself.

She had been the one who told him she liked roses.

Thus, she would not blame him. She would blame herself for being blind and not knowing how to speak!

By the time Sally got back to the main entrance, the fleet of roses had arrived at the research institute.

Nearly all the female employees at the research institute were standing at the door.

They all had the same idea in their mind. What if the flowers were for them?

Even if the flowers weren’t for them, everything would be worth it if they could take a picture with that massive fleet of roses!

One of Sally’s female colleagues began chatting with her. “Dr. Summers, are you still single?”

Sally pursed her lips and frowned as she chose her words carefully. “My children are already five years old.”

“Oh, is that so.”

Her female colleague sighed disappointedly. “I thought someone was coming over with a huge fleet of roses to woo you on your first day of work, Dr. Summers.”

Then, she

    Sally had just wrapped up her conversation with her colleague when Elijah had spotted her petite figure in the crowd. The man had a slight smile on his face as he grabbed his bouquet of roses and walked toward Sally. Sally could hear the collective intake of breaths from the female colleagues around her. She pursed her lips and forced herself to stay rooted to the spot. She knew what was about to happen. However, what she was not expecting was for Elijah to stop walking when he was two steps away from her.Then, as he held onto the huge bouquet of roses, the man got on one knee and tilted his head toward her tiny face. The man’s chiseled face was filled with tender love. “Sal.” He used his deep voice and softly called out her name. His gentle voice was enough to calm down Sally’s racing heart immediately. She lowered her head and gazed at his face. “Hm?” Shouts of surprise rang out around her. The female employees began whispering to each other. Sally’s female

    There was a pair of diamond engagement rings in it. The man took a ring out and half-knelt before Sally again. His gaze was just as sincere as before. “Sal, will you marry me?” Startled, Sally could not find any words. The people around her were cheering, yelling, and taking videos. Before her was a sea of roses and Elijah’s loving face. To be frank, she had assumed that she and Elijah had already made up. However, she had not expected Elijah to use such a grand way of proposing to announce that their relationship had been amended. She knew that news of such a grand proposal would soon be known by those not within the country. Perhaps the old sticklers at the Tate family would learn about it soon. Perhaps… Wren and Jules would be furious too? However, were they important? None of them were as important as Elijah. The man sighed and smiled as she extended a hand toward Elijah. “Wanna guess if I’ll agree?” Her shy smile was enough of an answer for him. Elijah

    The vast fleet of cars decorated with roses drove through half the city before it pulled to a stop in front of the entrance to The Golden Age. Owner of The Golden Age, Seth Greene, was already standing at the door with his chefs and managers, ready to welcome them. Sally felt oddly gleeful when she saw Seth, dressed in a dapper suit, standing by the door like a bellhop as he welcomed her. Especially after learning how he had treated Evonne, Sally felt delighted when she saw him obeying Elijah’s orders and waiting for her. The car door was opened. Like an empress, Sally got Elijah to help her elegantly alight the car. When she got out, she glanced at Seth and asked, “How did you find the time to personally welcome me, Mr. Greene?” Seth had a fake smile plastered on his face as he said, “I would understand if others didn’t understand why I am here to welcome you, but not you, Sal.” “Don’t you know what kind of temper your husband has?” “He would probably have my entire

    “Mr. Moses, Ms. Wren Blue got overexcited and got out of bed without our knowledge. She fell down the stairs, and we’re performing emergency resuscitation on her now…” Elijah’s grip on his phone faltered. “Didn’t I ask you to keep an eye on her?” “I’m sorry, Mr. Moses.”The person in charge at the hospital sighed apologetically. “We wanted to protect Ms. Wren Blue as well, but we had our hands full with Ms. Jules Blue…” “Ms. Jules Blue was pestering us to go downstairs and get some roses for her sister when Ms. Wren Blue got into her accident…” Elijah’s phone was in speaker mode. Sally could hear every word the man on the other end of the line was saying. She rapped the table lightly with her right hand as she used the other to hold her wine glass and sip red wine. She could deduce what had happened at the hospital as she listened to the man speak. Wren had probably lamented the fact that she had no roses after watching the videos online with Jules. Then, Jules would hav

    Jules must not have expected Sally to have such an attitude. She was stunned speechless for a few seconds before she regained her senses and asked, “Sally Summers, what do you mean!?” “Can’t you understand English?” Sally’s lips curled upwards into a mocking smile. “Should I repeat myself in French and German? You only received middle-school education, so I’m guessing you wouldn’t be able to understand that even more. Am I right, Ms. Blue?” “You should study more if you’re dumb. Don’t be a tyrant just because your sister received some merits. Do you think you’re worthy?” Sally’s gaze and voice were cold and devoid of any emotion. Jules shuddered. She gritted her teeth and asked, “What do you mean by that!” The thing she hated most in the world was people making fun of her education! She did not have bad grades! Back then, she had voluntarily quit school after her parents had died in a car crash because she did not want to place even more burdens on her sister! She w

    Sally managed to convince the head physician. The doctor sighed and patted Sally on the shoulder before he began rounding up his doctors and nurses to leave the room. When everyone left, Sally, who had put on a white coat, walked over elegantly to the door and closed it. Then, she picked up her phone and fiddled nonchalantly with it as she gazed coldly at Wren, who was still lying “unconscious” on the bed. “Ms. Blue, it’s just the two of us now. You don’t need to pretend anymore.” The woman lying on the bed did not move a muscle. She truly seemed to be unconscious. However, Sally knew otherwise. Because she saw the rhythm of Wren’s ECG become unstable once she started talking. It was an indication of surprise. She must not have expected Sally to suddenly speak to her, and she felt sheepish. “Your ECG has betrayed you.” Sally yawned and gazed at Wren. “But I won’t expose you if you would like to continue putting up an act, Ms. Blue.” “After all, you’ve been putting on

    When Sally opened the door to the resuscitation area, Jules rushed forth and glared at her. “What did you do to my sister?” “Nothing.” Sally elegantly took off her white coat and turned to look at the nervously awaiting doctors. “You should go in now. She’ll be waking up soon.” The doctors glanced at each other before they all rushed into the room. Jules hurried after the doctors after they all rushed in. Several seconds later, Jules's hysterical voice rang out. “Sis! You’re finally awake!” “Ahh--! You scared me half to death!” Elijah smiled slightly at Sally when he heard the woman in the room. “That impressive?” “Imagined illnesses should be treated with imagined medications.” Sally raised her head and smiled coyly at him. “Do you want to take a look at her?” Elijah narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly. “I don’t think it's necessary if it was an imagined illness.” Compared to the Blue sisters, he much trusted this woman, who had birthed him two children and was g

    “I’m actually not that popular with women, I…” “Stop.” Sally waved her hands. “It’s not up to you to decide if you’re popular with women. It’s up to the women to decide.” “Either way, I plan to go on leave for the next two days and conduct academic research at home. When everyone’s calmed down after two days, I’ll return to work at the research institute and publish my newest paper. That’s settled then.” “Now, bring me to the research institute so I can get my materials.” Elijah sighed as he nodded and got the keys from Ol’ Joe so he could act as Sally’s driver. It was past eight at night when they arrived at the research institute.It was pitch black inside the research institute. When Sally got out of the car, she took the flashlight she always carried with her and the key to the research institute that she had requested in advance from her bag. She unlocked the door with several deft movements and entered. Elijah frowned and shook his head slightly as he watched his

    ————One year later. The wedding of Zoey Williams, president of Yoder Corporation, and Thomas Yoder, the young master of the Moses family, was held at A City’s grandest hotel. On the wedding day, Zoey wore a gorgeous wedding gown as she walked over to Thomas. She raised her head and smiled at him. “When I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.” “However, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.” “Who would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freya’s younger brother. As per her wishes, I’ll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.” Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. “My beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.” Freya, carrying Frigg and sitting with the rest of the family, turned to exchange smiles with Bennett. The wedding was joyful and romantic. Everyone attending basked in the loving atmosp

    “If you destroy everything I have, then I’ll destroy everything you have!” Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!” “It’s all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. I’ve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!” “Sally Summers, it’s all your fault! Everything is because of you!” “I won’t forgive you even if I become a ghost!” “Alright then, go be a ghost!” Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenie’s chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. “Elijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!” “If you can’t choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!” “Your sister is just one part of my plan!” “You probably don’t know this yet.” Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir

    The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, “You are…” “I’m the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.” She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the woman’s face turned increasingly paler. “You have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.” “We just met the other day.” She shook her head as she spoke. “It makes sense, though. It’s only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.” “Forgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you don’t have many days left.” “When you’re gone, he’s going to leave his daughter and marry me.” The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, “Impossible… That’s impossible…” “Quincy, he…” “Nothing is impossible.” Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the woman’s face. “Look, I’m pregnant.” “How could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences don’t exi

    “In your dreams!” Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. “I wouldn’t want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!” The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. “You’re going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?” “You planted your seed in my stomach.” Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. “So, what do you want?” “Let’s meet up.” Queenie yawned. “Can you pick a place?” “There’s a cafe nearby the hospital.” Quincy sighed. “I don’t have much time for you, so don’t try talking nonsense after we meet.”“What a man you are, trying to ghost someone after you’ve slept with them.” The woman shrugged nonchalantly. “Alright. You can wait for me. I’ll be there soon.” She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. “Why do you want me to meet her?” “You’ve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.” “This time, Quincy, you’re the bait.

    The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincy’s skin. Intense pain came, but he did not seem to feel a thing as he continued pushing. Suddenly, a large, strong, and dry hand took hold of him. Quincy frowned as he tried to continue forcing the knife in, but he could not exert any more strength. Elijah’s cold voice rang beside his ear. “Do you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?” “Have you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?” Stunned, Quincy turned instinctively to look at Freya. The woman was sobbing controllably. As she gazed tearfully at him, it seemed that she had multiple things she wanted to say but could not find the words. Tears flowed once more from Quincy’s eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. “It’s my fault.” “It’s all my fault!” “Freya… I can’t live without you.” “I cannot… I…” Freya could not stop herself from wr

    After Freya was hospitalized, Quincy canceled all his work plans and spent all his time in the hospital watching over her. Although she never let him in, and although he could only ever gaze at her through the window from afar. However, he insisted on not taking even a step away from her ward. He stood guard there stubbornly, and no one could talk any sense into him. Both Elijah and Thomas could not bring themselves to chide or drive Quincy away when he acted this way. And thus, Freya finally agreed to meet him on the seventh day. The woman’s face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincy’s eyes when he saw what his beloved looked like from a close distance. It was all his fault. It was all his fault! He had caused her to end up this way! All because of him!“Is there anything you would like to say?” Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have

    Sally’s lips pursed themselves together when Freya’s name was mentioned. She would admit that she had had a horrible first impression of Freya when they first met. The woman had stripped nearly twenty years of Zoey’s life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sally’s mother during her and Elijah’s wedding. However, times had changed, and five years had passed since then. Sally could not bring herself to be cruel toward Freya, who now showed complete remorse. Additionally, she had treated Sam and Little Sarah with genuine kindness lately. Sally had begun to think of her as family. Yet, now, something like this happened. She sighed. “Freya…” “Freya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.” Freya’s illness was in her heart. The sort of illness she had made it so that she could not be made angry, excited, or frantic. If not, not e

    Evonne and Sally were slurping instant noodles when Elijah and Thomas arrived at the doctor’s on-call room. They were starving and had virtually no energy left. The only thing in the room they could use to fill their stomachs was instant noodles. When the door opened, Elijah frowned slightly when he saw his petite wife steadily making her way through a pack of instant noodles. The man strode over and grabbed her bowl. “Unhealthy stuff.” Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. “I don’t care if it’s not nutritious! I’m hungry… Hubby?” The emotions in the woman’s eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijah’s neck and jumped into his arms. “You’re back!” “I missed you so much!” He had been on his ocean trip for more than half a month. They had never been separated for so long since getting back together. The signal on the sea was spotty, and she could never

    When Sally finished suturing the last ruptured blood vessel in Freya’s heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. “It’s steady! The patient’s heartbeat is steady again!” The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it weren’t for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! “Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!” “Of course.” A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, “How did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?” The young nurse’s mouth widened in surprise. “In that case… why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?” The senior doctor sighed. “I guess they have their reasons…” In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. “Dr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?” Sa
